OK, so yaffs did not oops? If it did, could you send me the ksymoops. 
Any kernel traces?

Can you send me the /proc/yaffs to help too. These can help.

My hunch so far is that since yaffs, per se, does not seem to be falling over 
the problem is likely in the VFS directory stuff (dcache) and yaffs is not 
telling it the right things at the right times.
